ACNERR 0 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Wait a sec.You are only 14 and planning to start 60mg of accutane??do you know that this is a very powerful drug and will probably cause harm at young person like you?accutane is supposed to be prescribed only to adults(above 18years old) otherwise it could have a permanent effect at your bone-muscle structure cause your muscles and bones are not completely grown yet.Be carefull ask your derm first!ALso 60mg is very high dosage to start off.As for the scars the redness means that your skin is still healing.Thats good and your scars will probably fade off with time as they are not very deep.

Will the rad color dissapir? ty I would get a second opinion before starting accutane at your age and at that dosage. The side effects can be much more severe for patients in your age group. Plus, it can mess with your growth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getbehindmesatan 0 Share Posted October 21, 2005 red will disappear with time little dude...might look like they disappear for a while on accutane, cuz it tightens the skin; but are likely to return after your course is done, then the real healing will hopefully begin...my 2 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over half of people perscribed accutane is under 18. Im 16 and I started out at 60mg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonSpoon 0 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Meh. Don't listen to them.I am 15 and on 80 mg. And the disrupting of your growth thing, it is rare and not really proven. Anyways, good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
